Several rea- sons come to mind, such as allergies, environmental issues associated with phos- phates and the need for spe- cial, high-efficiency, low-suds- ing detergent for front-loading washers. But perhaps the most compelling reason is the cost: You can make your own laundry deter- gent for as little as $.02 a load. Two pennies. I have recipes for both liquid and powdered laundry detergent. The liquid will be cheapest to make. The powdered version is quicker to make, and a bit easier to store and dispense. In both cases you will need the following ingre- dients: 1. Fels Naptha Laundry Bar soap 2. Arm & Hammer Super Wash- ing Soda (do not use baking soda) 3. 20 Mule Team Borax Liquid Laundry Detergent 3 pints water 1/3 bar Fels Naptha soap, grated 1/2 cup Super Washing Soda 1/2 cup 20 Mule Team Borax 2-gallon bucket 1 quart hot water Mix grated Fels Naptha Laundry Bar Soap in a large saucepan with 3 pints hot water and heat on the stove over low heat until dissolved. Do not allow to boil. Stir in Super Washing Soda and Borax. Stir until thickened. Remove from heat. Add 1 quart hot water to 2- gallon bucket. Add soap mixture, and mix well. Fill up bucket with some additional hot water, leaving a few inches at the top, and mix well. Set aside for 24 hours, or until mixture thickens. Use 1/2 cup of mixture per load. Note: This recipe multiplies well, but you'll need a 5-gallon bucket. Powdered Laundry Detergent 1 cup grated Fels Naptha Laundry Bar Soap ing Soda 1/2 cup Super Wash- 1/2 cup 20 Mule Team Borax Mix and store in airtight con- tainer. For light loads, use 2 table- spoons. For heavy loads, use 3 tablespoons. Note: To make a large batch, grate 6 bars of Fels Naptha Soap and then add 3 cups of Super Wash- ing Soda and 3 cups 20 Mule Team Borax. Mix well and store in a cov- ered container. Tip: These recipes will not make suds in your washer, so don't be alarmed. Fels Naptha is a pure soap, which makes it perfect for use in high-efficiency (HE) wash- ers as well as traditional washers. The only proof you'll need of how well this laundry product works is to take a look at the dirty wash water. You may also notice the need to either reduce your laundry soft- ener or even eliminate the use of softener completely.

Hospital chain adopts new name, structure Catholic Healthcare West, the parent organiza- tion of the CHW North State Hospitals of Mercy Medical Center Redding, St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff and Mercy Medical Center Mt. Shasta announced Monday it has restructured its governance and changed its name to Dignity Health. "This name and structure reflect who we are and what we stand for," said Sr.Judy Carle, vice chair- woman of the Dignity Health Board of Directors and a Sister of Mercy. "The value of dignity is embedded in our culture. Our mission, vision and values were all formed out of the recognition of the inherent dignity of each person. We are confident that our vision for the organization will be achieved." Under the new governance structure, Dignity is a not-for-profit organization, rooted in the Catholic tradition, but is not an official ministry of the Catholic Church. The new structure and name enable the organization to grow nationally, while preserving the identity and integrity of both its Catholic and non-Catholic hospitals. The organiza- tion's Catholic hospitals will continue to be Catholic, directly sponsored by their founding con- gregations, and adhering to the Ethical and Reli- gious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services.

The changes follow several years of discussions between the organization's sponsoring congrega- tions, board of directors and management team about the future of health care and how to best extend its healing mission. Dignity's long term strategic plan is focused on integrated care and enhanced quality that reduces costs. Growth plans anticipate expanded partner- ships, which will include both Catholic and non- Catholic care centers. The system owns or operates 25 Catholic hospi- tals and 15 non-Catholic hospitals. Lloyd Dean, the organization's president and chief executive officer, said the changes would enhance the organization's ability to work across the spectrum of health care and expand partnerships to deliver high-quality care more efficiently. "Changing our name to Dignity Health reflects our commitment to excellent care for all in need and to being a national leader in quality care," Dean said. The new structure supports our long-term plan to grow and coordinate care, while reinforcing our mission of service to the communities we are so privileged to serve." Street. Violence • Staff at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital reported Monday that they had a parent bring in a child for treatment who was reportedly battered by a teacher at Jackson Heights Elementary School. No further infor- mation was available. • A disturbance was reported by two different parties about a dispute Monday in the 15900 block of Evergreen Road in Cottonwood. A 38- year-old woman called in first to report that a woman in a 2011 Toyota was argu- mentative toward her and her son. A man from the vehicle called in a few minutes later reporting that he and his wife had stopped when they saw a loose dog in the roadway near a residence. His wife had caught the dog when a boy came from the resi- dence and got the dog. The wife then told the boy to keep the dog in or she would take it to the pound. After the couple drove away, they heard a honk behind them at a stop sign. The boy's mother report- edly came toward the vehi- cle yelling at them and battered the man through the driver's side window. Neither party decided to press charges. Animals • A 72-year-old woman reported seeing a yellow lab and a husky dog killing two chickens and running a horse in the 20000 block of Wood- lawn Street. The two dogs were caught and taken to the county animal shelter. Fire • The cause of a structure fire reported at 2:18 a.m. Tuesday in the 1500 block of Butte Street is under investigation, but possibly was electrical. No one was injured and there were no residents in the single-fami- ly residence at the time of the fire. Corning Volunteer Fire Department responded with two engines, a squad and rescue, arriving on scene at 2:21 a.m. The fire was con- tained to the front porch and living room and was con- tained at 2:30 a.m. Damage was $55,000 to the residence and $15,000 to the contents.
